Chapter 230
“Sure,” the man agreed. Because there was indeed much to straighten out. Once it was done, the recovery rate of the Northland would be even faster. This man was none other than Li Su.
The method and techniques for refining the flow of spiritual energy veins that Li Su was using were learned from a jade slip in the Xuantian Academy. The library at the Xuantian Academy was vast and impressive, but, as he mentioned, it contained valuable knowledge and some texts that might be misleading or unhelpful. It was essential for individuals to choose and distinguish between them carefully.
After spending a year at Xuantian Academy, on his way out, Li Su noticed that the mountains between the Western Region and the Northern Region hindered the flow of spiritual energy. He decided to help unblock them, allowing him to apply his skills in formations. With the assistance of the three female cultivators, the process was much faster.
“Lu Luo, over here,” he called out. On top of a mountain, three women wearing long dresses of different colors converged from three directions. Together, they worked to rearrange the spiritual energy network of the mountain.
“The rest can be left to him,” the three women said as they looked towards Li Su. Li Su extended his hand and plucked at the air once more, and the area within a thousand miles once again resonated with a celestial melody. The melody couldn’t be heard with the ears. It seemed to both exist and not exist. It was a profound cosmic sound created by Li Su as he rearranged the spiritual energy network of the area. Only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above could sense it. The three women couldn’t help but show signs of joy, as they had contributed significantly to this endeavor.
After a month of companionship, these three women had become familiar with Li Su. Li Su had made some initial progress in arranging the spiritual energy networks of the mountains between the West and North Realms. Now, he was preparing to leave.
“Are you planning to go to the North Realm, sir?” one of the women asked. The woman leading the group, named Ziyan, asked, “Is that so?” Li Su simply responded with an “Hmm” and continued to move the flying boat forward.
“That works out well. We can travel together,” Ziyan suggested. Li Su didn’t refuse. As they journeyed together, the three women became more lively, and their conversations no longer revolved around the Northern Territory’s rumors about “Li Su.” Instead, all their attention was on the man in front of them.
With the northern realm in sight after another half a month of travel, the three women seemed to lose interest in the northern realm. Their subconscious desires focused solely on spending more time with the man by their side. However, with the northern realm now visible, they lacked a compelling reason to continue following this man. As the man’s flying vessel continued its journey, they entered the northern realm officially after some time.
“Goodbye, you three,” the man bid farewell to them and accelerated his vessel. “Wait! Could you tell us your name? So that we can find you in the future,” urged Ziyan, seeing the man about to leave.
“Li Su.” The man’s voice reached them from a distance–”Li Su!”
The three women couldn’t help but be surprised. “Sister Ziyan, is that Li Su?” one of them said, looking at Li Su’s retreating figure with eyes that had previously been filled with reluctance but now held a sense of astonishment. She never expected that the man who had charmed and completely captivated her and her two sisters during their month-long journey was none other than Li Su, a name that had already spread throughout the other regions in the North.
The three women’s emotions became more complex, and for some reason, they found that the rest of their travels no longer held the same appeal. Even though the North had changed significantly, they no longer had the mood to appreciate it. The intense enjoyment and conversations of that month had drained them of their happiness and words for some time. As a result, their chats became less frequent.
However, they remained very interested in Li Su’s achievements every time they arrived at a new location. In some of the secular cities of the North, even the content of storytellers’ tales was heavily influenced by Li Su. This became the only thing that truly piqued the interest of the three women during their travels in the North.
Unbeknownst to them, three years had passed since they started their journey in the North. According to their original plan, it was time to leave. However, they once again found themselves in disagreement.
“Qing Hong, are you going to find Li Su?” Ziyan looked at a woman in a light red long dress.
“Yes, Sister Ziyan. In the past, I didn’t quite understand why some mortal women, even if they only saw a man once, could be willing to wait for him for a lifetime. Now I understand.” The expression in Qing Hong’s eyes gradually became resolute.
“Ziyan, you go back. I’m already in the Northern Territory!” Then, she left the flying boat and flew towards Mangkang Mountain.
“Qing Hong, wait for me~” Seeing Qing Hong fly away, the youngest Lu Luo followed.
Watching Qing Hong’s distant figure, Ziyan couldn’t help but sigh and change the direction of the flying boat.
